Lin is a phenomenon, no doubt about it, and his underdog story is the feel-good story of the NBA season.

As fans wonder whether Lin will participate in All-Star weekend, some Orlando Magic fans might be wondering if the Magic could make a run at Lin in free agency this summer.

Don’t bet on it.

Lin will be a restricted free agent, as this blog post explains, giving the Knicks the right to match any offer sheet Lin signs. The Magic don’t figure to have cap room, although it will be interesting to see how Dwight Howard’s situation plays out.

The Knicks will not part with Lin, not the way he’s playing right now.
